ABSTRACT
T HE COUNTRY IS in crisis. The military is weak. People's bodies are degenerating. Certain reformers wished to solve these problems by learning to use Western technology. They do not understand that what is fundamental is to promote physical exercise. Only when their bodies are strong can people defend their country. Some reformers have promoted physical education. They have failed too. For they have omitted to explain the value of physical exercise. Only when people know the importance of exercise can they participate in it actively and effectively. A new system of physical education and a new recognition of the need for exercise are urgently required. I would like to offer my opinions on both these matters and discuss them with my colleagues.
